Weather in October

October, the same as September, in Pandiruppu, Sri Lanka, is another tropical autumn month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 31°C (87.8°F) and an average low of 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Temperature

Pandiruppu records a slight change with October's average high-temperatures adjusting to a still hot 31°C (87.8°F) from September's 31.8°C (89.2°F). Throughout the month of October, Pandiruppu expects an average low of 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Heat index

October's heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
